C. F. E. Black The Shadow Heir

He's the prince of shadows, bound to do the will of his court. She's about to shatter the darkness. On Zara's twentieth birthday, she expected to be married to the love of her life, not stolen by the Shadow Prince and hurled into a world where death awaits her at every turn. For one year she will be forced to endure dangerous trials intended to entertain the fae. Determined to do whatever it takes to survive and return to her home, Zara seeks an escape, but what she never expects is to find herself indebted to the Shadow Prince himself. As Zara teams up with the one person she never wanted to trust, she quickly realizes that there's more danger in the fae court than she first knew, and her life isn't the only one on the line. As her opinion of the fae prince begins to change, Zara must make a choice: trust her enemy or let darkness win. She has vowed to survive the trials meant to kill her, but who will save her heart from an unexpected love that threatens to break her? The Shadow Heir is a standalone fantasy romance perfect for readers who enjoy swoony romance without the spice, dual POV forbidden love, and super slow burn enemies to lovers with banter that will make you squeal. It's based on a gender-swapped version of the Spanish fairytale, "The Prince Fernando" and will delight readers who enjoyed Once Upon a Broken Heart and The Cruel Prince.
